We are currently in the process of creating a controller that is fun for young kids to interact with physically and see changes digitally on the computer. The electrical circuit is now finished, after switching from the prototype to a permanent circuit which is soldered together to a perforated board. The circuit consists of an Arduino Nano, 3 variable resistors, bluetooth, 3-axis accelerometer and 2 buttons. In addition there is a power source that can be turned on and off with a SPST switch. In testing the new electrical circuit we have, the potentiometers and accelerometers successfully worked. Though while playing with code to get the buttons working, the Arduino started heating up, so there are still some areas that need troubleshooting in terms of voltage powering the circuit. I will start building a second circuit

The designs for the internal framework of the controller has been designed on Solidworks. We are currently in the process of printing out our second prototype but it has been pushed back since many people are using the 3D printers. The knobs have been printed already, and the framework is currently being printed.

In terms of coding the Arduino nano and the C# code for the game, it is slowly progressing. We got the buttons to be able to change the color of the object in our game. Now we are in the processing of having the shape of the object be altered with the push of a button and having the bluetooth be able to connect to a computer wirelessly.
